Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Bridgeton, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bridgeton offers medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
